MultiHop Topology Mode

When using the Ethernet Data Radio in MultiHop mode with a repeater, the time required to transmit is doubled and the RPI for each

connection becomes 300 milliseconds per 60 registers. The RPI increases another 150 milliseconds for each additional repeater in

the data path.

Important Timing Considerations

•

Good radio links transmit faster than poor radio links. Missed packets are retried, which consumes bandwidth.

•

All data is routed through the radio master; the network will be faster when the master radio is connected to the PLC.

•

Each wireless hop slows down the network.

•

Use unicast messaging; multicast messaging causes unnecessary additional traffic on the network.

•

The previous examples are for the standard data rate of 300 Kbps. Proportionally increase the RPI at 200Kbps

Warnings

Install and properly ground a qualified surge suppressor when installing a remote antenna system. Remote antenna

configurations installed without surge suppressors invalidate the manufacturer's warranty. Keep the ground wire as short as possible

and make all ground connections to a single-point ground system to ensure no ground loops are created. No surge suppressor can

absorb all lightning strikes; do not touch the Sure Cross® device or any equipment connected to the Sure Cross device during a

thunderstorm.

1

Radio range is with the 2 dB antenna that ships with the product. High-gain antennas are available, but the range depends on the environment and line of sight. Always verify your wireless

network's range by performing a Site Survey.

2

Refer to the Sure Cross® DX80 Performance (p/n 132607) or the Sure Cross® MultiHop (p/n 151317) instruction manual for installation and waterproofing instructions.

Operating the devices at the maximum operating conditions for extended periods can shorten the life of the device.
